Anyone got any experience with them, or can recommend one?
Only for a 1.3 petrol engine plus general use as a mobile supply.

I did see the video someone posted, in here from memory.

Amazing what it would start car engine wise given how small it was.

Not that much bigger than a fat pack of cigarettes from memory.

My guess is it will only work where the car battery is only slightly too
low to start the car. Willing to bet it wouldn't work with no car battery
in place, or totally flat. So rather like most jump start packs.


You might be surprised. Okay, this clip is an ad but there are plenty
reviews of similar devices starting V8 engines with NO battery (other than
the jump starter obviously).
